The Stink Bug
Stink Bugs are attracted to light in the fall when they are looking for a nice warm place to overwinter.
Stink bugs primarily live in wooded areas and fields where food is abundant for them. They will live under leaves, loose tree bark, and other debris on the ground in woods and fields. The typical diet consists of ornamental plants and trees including crab apple, holly and some maples. They also enjoy feeding on fruits and vegetables. They get their name from a stinky odor that they leave when threatened.
To help deter these pests, you can limit exterior lighting. Try and seal all cracks around windows and doors. Exclude them from wanting to use your home for their winter hideaway.
